Friendship or is it?

            Let’s talk about friendship. I’ve lost two people that I thought were friends of mine for over twenty years. Both are really mind boggling and I honestly can’t figure out what happened. It’s amazing to listen to other’s perception of a story.

            About a month ago I posted a comment on my Facebook page about the one so-called friend and it read, “It’s a shame that just when you thought you had a friend of twenty-three years, you find out that they aren’t your friends at all.” Now unless you are guilty of something, why would you response to that comment?

            There was a comment from the other so-called friend, that the comment wasn’t about, that read, “Are you talking about me?” Then under that one was another comment from her husband that read, “I hope you aren’t talking about my wife, because you haven’t been the “friend of the year” yourself.” It was really uglier than that. I’ve been dealing with this so-called friend for years. She is very depressed and jealous.

            Once she wanted to kill herself and called me very late. I lived in another town at the time and I went to her house trying to get someone to the door. No one came to the door and then I could see her laying on the cough asleep. I went to pick her up once when she was upset with her husband. She is also an alcoholic and I’ve had to listen to a lot of drunken phone calls from her crying about her husband cheating on her etc… She had already made a comment on my Facebook page about how she had to read all my other comments from other people and she felt like she was unimportant to me. It’s been an exhausting 24 year relationship with her; I could go on all night about this.

            I lost it on Facebook to both of them. I told them that they needed help and told her husband that he should’ve been with his wife a lot of times instead of cheating on her. I said that a lot uglier. I also told them both that I am done with them. Her husband tried to get in touch with me many different ways because I had blocked him on Facebook. I forgot about Yahoo and he finally sent me a message through that. I shouldn't have read it but I did. I’ve forgiven them both for everything, but I want nothing else to do with them ever.

            It’s really sad though. I don’t understand things but it all happens for a reason. I feel weird now with two less friends. I feel lighter, maybe a little empty. When one door closes, another one opens. This too will soon pass.
